Details/Takeaway: Mayorkun's debut album is titled, The Mayor Of Lagos. As a sophomore, Back In Office is such a brilliant album title. After Mayorkun's stellar year, during which he was named artist of the year by many publications, he was expected to release his sophomore but it never dropped.
When he announced the album, he wrote that, "Became the “Mayor Of Lagos” in 2017, 4 years later, The Mayor is “Back In Office” for another tenure.. My sophomore album is out now."
Speaking about his evolution with Lootlove on Apple Music Radio, Africa Now, he says, "I think for me, I've grown as a person, as well as being an artist. I've had to unlearn different things. I had to learn new things. These things are evident in the project. You’ll figure out that this guy is really grown up from what he used to be.
"First of all, I have the best fans in the whole world. Ride or die. Yes. To forever and beyond. I didn't completely not leave some songs that they'll remember my old self with. But I gave chances for experiments. It’s balanced in a way."
